Sen. John Cornyn, R-San Antonio, delivered remarks at the Memorial Day ceremony, drawing parallels between the newly minted citizens and the 29 immigrant soldiers among the Alamo defenders.]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/cornyn-welcomes-new-american-citizens-at-alamo-ceremony/feed/0TexMessage: We remember all the Texas veterans who have died in Iraq and Afghanistanhttp://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/texmessage-we-remember-all-the-texas-veterans-who-have-died-in-iraq-and-afghanistan/

On this Memorial Day, we offered a special tribute in the form of an interactive multimedia graphic by one of our talented Washington bureau interns, Gabriella Ferrari. ]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/texmessage-we-remember-all-the-texas-veterans-who-have-died-in-iraq-and-afghanistan/feed/0TexMessage: Annise Parker, Sheila Jackson Lee get good press — in Chinahttp://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/texmessage-annise-parker-sheila-jackson-lee-get-good-press-in-china/

The high-profile Houston Democrat has made headlines for her pronouncements on subjects ranging from Pakistan to Vietnam, the Fifth Ward to Mars, civil rights to Republican wrongs.
But over the weekend, she earned a new distinction: a highly favorable story in the Chinese Communist Party's "People's Daily."]]>http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/texmessage-annise-parker-sheila-jackson-lee-get-good-press-in-china/feed/0
